ermojesse__: *thumbs up*00:00
fellayaboyhow can i create a link their that will execute to whereever the file is on the pc00:00
ermowell, I'm off. Cheers!00:00
sprayyfellayaboy, does your whateverprogram have a flag to specify the location of the .conf file00:00
sprayyLike ./whateverprogram --conf=~/configure.conf00:00
fellayaboyi think so00:00
Jordan_Ufellayaboy: What program are you actually trying to use?00:00
=== ermo is now known as ermo^
jesse__ermo^: Exactly00:00
GhostWolfrobro ok thanks00:01
fellayaboynone in particular i just want to do this for future referenece but im using mupen64 that i downloaded from the site which is just a folder with the files in it00:01
jesse__ermo: Thanks again00:01
robro_GhostWolf, No problem :)00:01
yggdrasilermo guess that patch wouldnt do much for this old ass laptop00:02
yggdrasildoesnt have pcie or anything00:02
yggdrasiljust an old dell.00:02
Jordan_Ufellayaboy: Just run "sudo apt-get install mupen64plus" (which, by the way, is better than mupen64). Manually installing things is generally to be avoided, and will be different depending on the individual application so there is no general solution.00:02
fellayaboyJordan_U,  i understand but im not really trying to install mupen....im usign it as an example in case i find another program out their thats not in the repos i want to learn how to do this00:03
arduino_mexoh i missed IRC so muuucchh!!00:04
fellayaboyi coudl just dump all the files in local/bin and it will probably work but thats too messy..theirs folders and conf files and png files etc00:04
Jordan_Ufellayaboy: Like I said before, there is no general solution. What would work for mupen64 would not work for 95% of other applications.00:04
fellayaboyright..ok00:05
arduino_mexis there anyone that can explain to me what a kernel is?00:05
bastidrazorarduino_mex: don't be silly.00:06
ikoniaarduino_mex: it's the thing that controls the linux operating system00:06
ikoniaarduino_mex: it IS linux00:06
arduino_mexim serious i get around things pretty well but i would like to understand it profoundly00:06
ikoniaarduino_mex: just told you what it is00:06
arduino_mexthanks00:07
arduino_mexso the kernel is between the person and the OS correct?00:07
frotz47In computing, the kernel is the main component of most computer operating systems; it is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level.00:07
ikoniaarduino_mex: it IS the OS00:07
Skummelarduino_mex if you want to understand what a kernal is and what it does, I would suggest you start reading up on Operating systems.00:07
ikoniaarduino_mex: quick google will give you the info you want00:07
ikoniayou're a bit beyond the scope of this channel00:08
arduino_mexok00:08
arduino_mexsorry for bothering00:08
ikonianot a bother00:08
arduino_mexis there a book you know i could read00:08
ikoniaarduino_mex: quick google will give you the info00:09
ThiagovfarIs there a standard way to add /usr/sbin to the PATH?00:09
ikoniaThiagovfar: it should be already00:09
Thiagovfarikonia: for root, it is, for normal users, it's not.00:09
ikoniaThiagovfar: you shouldn't be using root - it's a locked account00:09
ikoniaThiagovfar: you should be usig sudo00:10
ikoniausing00:10
Thiagovfarikonia: crap, wrong channel00:10
Thiagovfarsorry for that00:10
ikonianot a problem00:10
sprayyThiagovfar,  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin00:11
sprayyThat appends /usr/sbin to your current $PATH00:11
arduino_mexmay i ask what is the purpose of this channel? like what sorto of questions are allowed00:11
Thiagovfarsprayy: Thanks00:11
ikoniaarduino_mex: ubuntu technical support00:11
arduino_mexgotcha00:11
SeverianOn Ubuntu 10.04, is there a way to completely rebuild database of installed packages?  I had a corrupt /var/lib/dpkg/status.  I deleted it, which was probably a mistake.  Now, synaptic wants to install a bunch of packages thare are already there.00:11
arduino_mextthxs00:11
Jordan_Uikonia: To put what Thiagovfar said another way, "kvm-ok" will not work as a normal user, but "sudo kvm-ok" will, even though kvm-ok does not require root priveleges (but is in /usr/sbin/).00:12
sprayyIf you want it permanent, add that line to your shell profile.  In my case it's /etc/profile for all users, or just ~/.profile for your user00:12
ikoniaJordan_U: totally missed what you're saying, sorry00:13
Jordan_Uikonia: Try running "kvm-ok" as a normal user in Ubuntu 11.10.00:13
ikoniaJordan_U: not got access to ubuntu at the moment00:13
bastidrazorcpu-checker is not installed00:14
Jordan_Uikonia: On my machine I get "kvm-ok: command not found", while "/usr/sbin/kvm-ok" runs successfully, as does "sudo kvm-ok". Becuase /usr/sbin/ is included in root's $PATH, but not a normal user's.00:14
whoeveri am trying to locate javajdk , and which jdk whick javajdk returns nothing00:15
three18tihey, can anyone help me with orchestra please?00:15
three18tihello, can someone please help me with orchestra?00:16
Jordan_Uikonia: Which illustrates the problem, and shows that it has to do with $PATH being different for the root account without ever logging in as root.00:16
worrowjust got ubuntu up and running and removed unity completely and made gnome classic my default.00:16
Stanley00whoever: try "which javac" java jdk is not a program, I think00:16

worrowhow do I remove the bottom taskbar? I have one at the top and one at the bottom.00:22
worrowI want to move the top one to the bottom and remove the one on the bottom00:22
robin0800worrow: hold alt and right click00:22

worrowRob: that worked wonderfully.00:23
worrowRob: next question is about nautilus00:23
Stanley00whoever: it depends on how you want to export, /etc/bash/.bashrc for system wide00:24
konamworrow have you tried nautilus elementary?00:24
Stanley00whoever: and ~.bashrc just for your account00:24
braintorchHello. How do I change default application for "ftp://" urls in 11.10?00:24

schimegood evening guys! Im trying to delete a partition here, but it tells me: Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than Please unmount any logical partitions having a number higher than 8. The partition Im trying to delete is "sda8" (not over 8) and its not mounted :S Do they mean that i have to unmount my home and root folder that im using for ubuntu now when im writing even if thats not the partition i want to delete?00:28

WanderingEnderQuestion: What is the advantage of using a network bridge (br0 interface) to iptables NAT?00:30
WanderingEnderOr, rather, why use the bridge-utils at all?00:30
braintorchwhoever: I know how to change preffered application for file type. Question is how to change preffered application for a _url_ type. Let's say someone post ftp link in IRC. ftp://kernel.org for example. I click it and it opens in firefox. How do I change that?00:30
Severianbrjannc, Thank you.  That seems to have done what I need.  Synaptic is back to installing updates.00:30
Osmodivsbrjannc: Well, I wanted to use something lighter00:30
OsmodivsI use Lubuntu, you know?00:30
Stanley00schime: are your home and root on sda too?00:31
brjanncSeverian: glad to hear it :)00:31
brjanncOsmodivs: ah, understood00:31
schimestanley00 yes they are00:31
Stanley00schime: then, I recommend you use a liveUSB to delete the partition.00:31
ActionPa1snipOsmodivs: so updates basically? and installs?00:31
ActionPa1snipOsmodivs: is that all?00:31
schimestanley00 i have 3 OSes w7, ubuntu 11.10 and linux mint 11 (thats the partitions im trying to delete)00:32
OsmodivsYeah, I want to know what's hapening in my brotheres PC, 1000 miles away00:32
whoeverbraintorch: don't know i think it opens in default browser00:32
braintorchnope.00:32
ActionPa1snipOsmodivs: you can update with ssh in a terminal using apt-get00:32
c00panyone have a good link on installing ubuntu on a Mac Mini00:32
schimestanley00 do u think it would work delete them in the installation of a new OS? (pinguy OS)00:32
braintorch"http://" urls opens in default browser00:33
ActionPa1snipOsmodivs: you can read the output of: ps -ef | less     and see what processes are running and such00:33
braintorch"ftp://" opens in firefox for some reason.00:33
OsmodivsActionPa1snip: Openshh?00:33
Stanley00schime: some OS installer will, as Ubuntu's.00:33
Guest44801can anyone help me get my wifi card to be detected on wireshark? I have ubuntu 11.1000:34
Severianbraintorch, That would be because they designed it to handle ftp sites.00:34
ActionPa1snipOsmodivs: install openssh-server and you can connect to port 22 using putty (Windows) or run:  ssh user@server   in Linux00:34
schimestanley00 okey, pinguy OS is based on ubuntu so might work then00:34
ActionPa1snipOsmodivs: if you are external to the LAN you are connecting to you will need to setup port forwarding or virtual server in your router, to allow the traffic through00:34
OsmodivsActionPa1snip: Does the other PC needs to have Openssh?00:34
brjanncthree18ti: have you tried asking your orchestra question in #ubuntu-server?00:34
Stanley00schime: I hope so.00:34
schimestanley00 ill try that first before the liveUSB. thx! might come back.. :P00:34
Stanley00schime: :)00:34
Severianbraintorch, Maybe I misunderstood.  Are you asking why nautilus would use firefox to open ftp?00:34
ActionPa1snipOsmodivs: the system you are connecting to will need openssh-server installed00:35
Stanley00Guest44801: and did you run wireshark as root?00:35
brjanncthree18ti: one of the orchestra devs' blogs notes that about a dozen ubuntu developers with orchestra experience hang out there, so you might have more luck :)00:36
Guest44801<Stanley00> haha i just found that... is there anyway to make it so i dont have to every time?00:36
JoshR1So how can I do the SSH/sftp on windows?00:37
Stanley00Guest44801: you can edit the .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/00:37
Guest44801<Stanley00> dose that work in unity?00:37
theborgerhey is there an alsa 1.0.24 pkg for 2.6.32-25 pae?00:37
braintorchSeverian: my case is why pidgin use firefox to open ftp. But anyway there must be some option in the deepest of gtk3 or gnome or whatever rules by how urls handled in gtk applications.00:38
Stanley00Guest44801: yep, the file is wireshark.desktop00:38

three18titkendrick, is it just a single real number with decimal, or is it a 9 digit integer, or?  What I'm trying to get at is, how does each line look?01:18
jribtkendrick: you haven't answered my question but assuming you don't want to use some scripting language like python or perl and want to stick with bash, you can do this easily using the 'printf' command01:19

jribtkendrick: here are some teaser commands to get you started: « printf '%.3f\n' 123.45678 », « while x in 1 2 3; do echo $x; done » (you'll want to use « read » to read in a line from your file but this is just an example of a while loop)01:22

Severianvuarabei, If you used a command prompt and did a rm to delete the files, they don't go to trash.  They just get deleted.02:23
vuarabeii just right click and choose delete02:23
iuriguilhermeegoflux: well first you try to mount it with the mount command, if it doesn't work then you should try something like dd or ddrescue02:23
klamontagneSocky_, /var/log/auth.log02:23
vuarabeihow to delete it properly02:23
iuriguilhermeegoflux: i can't help you much because i have no idea how this file is encoded02:23
Socky_thanks02:23
vuarabeiand what to do now?delete all trash folder?02:24
klamontagneSocky_, have a look a 'who', 'w' and 'last' also02:24
egofluxok...let me tryt02:24
iuriguilhermevuarabei: if you delete those files they go to the expunged folder02:24
vuarabeiwhat is expunged02:24
iuriguilhermevuarabei: it is another directory inside the main trash directory02:25
iuriguilhermevuarabei: if you delete the files insidie the files directory they'll go to expunged02:25
vuarabeii want to know why when i delete them they dont go in trash canon? they go to /root/.local/share/Trash02:25
iuriguilhermevuarabei: well, you deleted them as root02:25
ActionPa1snipvuarabei: if you deleted as your user it will be in your users trash, not roots02:25
iuriguilhermevuarabei: maybe you used sudo rm or even opened your file manager as root to delte them02:26
vuarabeiso if i delete as root they go /root/.local/share/Trash?02:26
iuriguilhermevuarabei: yes, becuase the user who is deleting is root02:26

boxybrownhey guys, XForwarding on my servers has stopped working after installing ubuntu-desktop package02:38
boxybrownany ideas what hte problem can be?02:38
boxybrownrunning ssh -X user@machine, and then trying the 'xeyes' command, i get the following error02:38

ActionPa1snipboxybrown: what OS is the client system?02:38

kl4m_installing ubuntu-desktop on target machine or ssh'ing machine?02:39
kl4m_ah ok02:39
boxybrownubuntu-desktop on the target machine (server)02:39
boxybrowni dont believe its a client problem because I can ssh -X into a different server and it works fine02:39
nairband check in your login-manager settings to see if X11 forwarding is allowed02:39
williamchan_boxybrown: any error msg?02:40
boxybrownthe only things ive really found are "check sshd_config" or "delete .Xauthority" but ssd_config has XForwarding enabled and the other approach didnt work02:40
boxybrownwilliamchan_: Error: Can't open display: localhost:10.002:40

boxybrownActionPa1snip: i'm pretty sure this isn't an OSX issue. I have the same problem when trying to SSH from Ubuntu to Ubuntu02:44
nairb@vuarabei: you, you must switch to root02:44
nairbsudo -i02:44
vuarabeii run my file manager with sudo but when i right ckick on files and use delete nothing happens02:45
hoguklamontagne, I found this "Overwritten by lwidentity: ChallengeReponseAuthentication no" ChallengeResponseAuthenticatino yes02:45
hoguI guess that was it02:45
nairbArcademan, medibuntu.org02:45
boxybrownany other idea? I've been googling this forever02:46
nairb@vuarabei: use a terminal02:46
nairbsudo -i02:46
vuarabeiwhat is -i?02:46
nairblogin as root02:47

robin0800phunyguy: yes it makes it hard to read and if you put it in a name it won't auto complete02:51
phunyguysounds kind of nit-picky, no?02:51
nairbboxybrown, i know. im just used to using @signs when talking @work02:51
WanderingEnderphunyguy: It messes up people's auto complete.02:52
phunyguyautocomplete, meaning when you press /tab/ it doesnt put the whole name?02:52
nairbtusob - that sounds like something to contact your computer manufacture about, not the ubuntu irc channel02:52
phunyguysounds like their problem, not yours.02:53
tusobnairb: I guess it's not really about ubuntu, but 1) there was no manufacturer since I made it from parts scavenged from the town dump, and 2) I know there are lots of nice people here :-D02:53
WanderingEnderphunyguy: meaning that @name won't trigger auto complete on some clients.02:54
phunyguytusob, then go to #ubuntu-offtopic02:54
phunyguyWanderingEnder, what do you mean by autocomplete?02:54
tusobphunyguy: ahhh, I didn't know it existed… thx!02:54
phunyguyare you talking about notifications?02:54
WanderingEnder#ubuntu-offtopic isn't a support channel, keep that in mind.02:54
phunyguybecause, that's not called "auto-complete"02:54

bobweaver!ufw >> hilarie05:59
brjannchilarie: That's odd; I got a 200 OK response after requesting /index.htm, so it should have logged that...05:59
bobweaver!ufw |  hilarie05:59
ubottuhilarie: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE Lucid and Maverick) also exist.05:59

blackshirtkierkkadon: i think you make a "redundant"06:00
darkstar999kierkkadon: sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop06:00
sinisterstufhilarie, you might find it easier to use Firestarter, a graphical tool to manage your firewall, maybe have a look at that if you don't like the first 2 suggestions06:00
hilariesinisterstuf I mostly want to kill it if I have one, would the default firewall be blocking port 80?06:00
kierkkadonblackshirt, I don't really know what that means06:00
bobweaverhilarie: no06:00
kierkkadondarkstar999, that sounds slightly like a troll response...I don't want to remove kubuntu06:01
somsiphilarie: possibly something in hosts allow/deny in the /etc/apache2/sites/available/default file?06:01
kierkkadonAlso, today is my first day of ever using linux at all.06:01
sinisterstufno hilarie, and killing the whole firewall is a bad idea, it's better to unblock whichever port you want to use. it's more likely that port 80 is already in use by something else.06:01

blackshirtnbros652: or this http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smbcquotas.1.html07:37
SanusCompleoI -HOPE- I got HP_Tools.  Otherwise... tis Windows boot, or Recovery.07:37
bobslaedeAnd have all the graphical stuff uninstalled and such...07:37
smwbut the second you delete one, linux can make a "logical partition" so you can have as many as you want07:37
blackshirtbobslaede: you can do it easily07:37
SanusCompleoSo at least it's possible to get it back, or install Grub to boot Windows, no?07:37
bobslaedeblackshirt: awesome!07:37
Stanley00bobslaede: you can, but fresh install ubuntu-server is prefer07:37
mysteriousdarrenbobslaede: just install the dependancies07:37
smwSanusCompleo, I deleted windows boot and that killed windows07:37
trueskysorry to bother again guys. can someone tell me how to enable bash-completion for apt-get. I tried editing bashrc already and it is not working07:37
teddieboslaede, install linux-image-server07:37
smwSanusCompleo, I was too lazy to reinstall windows so I haven't had it since07:38
SanusCompleoIt killed windows, or you just couldn't boot into windows?07:38
bobslaedethanks guys, will see if i can get a fresh install tho07:38
SanusCompleoYeah.07:38
smwSanusCompleo, is there a difference?07:38
SanusCompleoIf anything like that happens, I'll just copy everything over.07:38
SanusCompleoYes.  I booted Windows through Grub for a good two years on my old PC07:38
smwSanusCompleo, HP_TOOLS in theory won't do anything07:38
blackshirtbobslaede: just install all stuf from deskstop part, install kernel server version07:38
SanusCompleoNo, HP_Tools is just some weird B.S.07:38
nbros652blackshirt, thanks, but does this actually allow imposing a limit of the size of individual files?07:38
bobslaedeblackshirt: alrigth07:38
smwSanusCompleo, truthfully, I don't care about windows. So it doesn't matter for me :-P07:39
blackshirtbobslaede: i mean just removing all desktop part, sorry07:39
SanusCompleoOnce I split my HD into two partitions.  Labelled one "Storage".  Felt preeetty derpy.07:39
SanusCompleo*nods to smw*07:39
SanusCompleoI use Windows for what few games my dual-core 1.6 GHz processor can do.07:39
SanusCompleoWould love to put this HD into a more powerful laptop.07:40
Stanley00truesky: add "    . /etc/bash_completion" in that file07:40

SanusCompleosmw, it's not allowing me to change the size of C now.07:40
geoffmccSanusCompleo: im a little behind, did u delete your windows mbr?07:40
darshan_ne1 plz try to solve it07:41
trueskyActionParsnip: I think so. let me check again07:41
smwSanusCompleo, ah, I don't play games :-P. I just last week setup Windows XP in a VM because my KVM needed Active X07:41
BrycenAnyone know about running the liveCD on the new macbook pro?07:41
SanusCompleoI haven't.  Now it's doing strange things, that I don't understand.  :C07:41
smwSanusCompleo, I normally shrink the size of C: in windows first07:41
smwSanusCompleo, you can also use gparted07:41
SanusCompleoI probably should have.07:41
SanusCompleo*nods* I know.07:42
trueskyActionParsnip: yes it is07:42
SanusCompleoI've got a bad history with Gparted07:42
ActionParsnipSanusCompleo: urbanterror plays fine here on single core 1.6ghz with nvidia 6150LE 512mb :-)07:42
geoffmccSanus: i also always part in windows first07:42
geoffmcci dualboot hp laptop + windows no prob07:42
SanusCompleoSee. I can never manage to get windows partitioners to do anything but screw up my disk!07:42
ActionParsniptruesky: if you run:  source ~/.bashrc   is it ok?07:42
SanusCompleoAlso, getting rid of Unity... What's the -best- way to do it?  Just go to Gnome 3?07:43
trueskyActionParsnip: that just made it work07:43
smwSanusCompleo, my opinion is xfce. It has come far. It is very close to gnome 207:43
SanusCompleoClose?07:43
trueskyActionParsnip: is that a permanent fix?07:43
SanusCompleoThat sounds...  lacking.07:43
SanusCompleoI really liked Gnome 2.x07:44
smwSanusCompleo, it isn't lacking07:44
ActionParsnipSanusCompleo: if you have unity you have and are already running gnome3 (assuming oneiric)07:44
smwSanusCompleo, I suggest experimentation07:44
smwSanusCompleo, I tried lubuntu, kubuntu, ubuntu, gnome-shell, and xubuntu07:44
smwSanusCompleo, xfce won.07:44
SanusCompleo(It is oneiric, but it says that you can log a session under Gnome... which is apparently different from Unity?  I dislike this launcher business.)07:44
ActionParsniptruesky: it just needed running to apply changes. Do new terminals run ok?07:44

hilariesanuscompleo then your transition to ubuntu will be complete, and all remnents of windows will be gone08:02
sausagesquatchwhat08:02
ActionParsnipsausagesquatch: the iso must exist to be burned.08:02
Stanley00sausagesquatch: or simply extract it use 7zip tool ;)08:02

nuno_SanusCompleo: I tried to use Wubi but Ubuntu kept freezing and crashing down, but as far i tried it i surrendered myself to it and installed it for good08:05
hilarieI just uninstalled software center for the purposes of reinstalling it, pastebin to follow, it was funny08:06

stepnjumpHave any of you yet found a way to get rid of unity in Oneiric Ocelot ?08:10
somsip!nounity | stepnjump08:11
ubottustepnjump: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic08:11
Stanley00stepnjump: use lubuntu or kubuntu or something... :))08:11
hilarie@stepnjump there is no 10.10 UI unless you go back to 11.04, and go into classic mode08:12
=== kat is now known as katsrc
stepnjumphilarie yes thats what I was afraid. Fortunately I kept my 11.04... I wonder what I will do in 6 months when they phase it out08:14

stepnjump18m hilarie?08:16

smwpsypher246, truthfully, you are not giving me much to work with. Don't think I can help :-\. Any reason you are not using virtualbox?08:22
tonyyarussosmw:  He means that when launching the GUI app (virt-manager) from a terminal, the error is spit out on the parent terminal.08:22
tonyyarussostepnjump: It deletes the .deb packages you've downloaded that are stored in /var/cache/apt/08:22

MrS1lentczJordan_U: ubuntu installation? do you mean "to mounted linux os partition" ?09:29
Jordan_UMrS1lentcz: Installing grub-pc will ensure that on upgrades grub-pc's grub-install gets run (updating the BIOS based bootloader, grub-pc rather than the efi based grub-efi which you probably have in your installed Ubuntu system currently).09:29
Jordan_UMrS1lentcz: I mean that you should reboot into your installed system rather than the LiveCD/USB that you're currently booted from.09:30

stimpiemy 'time applet' shows a few calendar entries, where do these come from? and how do I change the calendar used?09:51
joshmcstimpie, do you use evolution, or have it set up to use a calendar? I think that, by default, the calendar entries there gets added to the applet.09:52
stimpieI have used evolution but removed it.09:52
joshmcstimpie, did you remove evolution related packages, such as evolution-common or evolution-data if they exist?09:53
joshmcstimpie, also, did you apt-get remove or purge09:53
stimpienot sure probably just a remove09:54
brianpWinshmmmm. I did addgroup user admin and it said it worked. but when I login as that user gem uninstall still give me write permission errors09:54
brianpWinsYou don't have write permissions into the /usr/local/rbenv/versions/1.9.2-p290/bin directory.09:55
llutzbrianpWins: that just adds the user to the sudo-user group. he still needs sudo to work with elevated privs09:55
joshmcstimpie, as an example, I have evolution-common installed, dispite not using evolution myself. It might be included in a metapackage, such as ubuntu-desktop, so keep that in mind.09:55
deej1976brianpWins: Did you prefix your command with sudo?09:55
joshmcbrianpWins, is this an rvm setup?09:56
brianpWinsdeej1976: I didn't. but when I do. it tells me sudo: gem: command not found09:56
brianpWinsjoshmc: not rvm. rbenv09:56
OldOneEyedoes this work09:56
OldOneEyefecal-matters.mooo.com09:56
stimpiejoshmc, evolution-common is indeed still installed. I guess its easier to just keep evolution installed.09:56
joshmcstimpie, maybe, maybe not, depends on what you need. if it requires too much software to be uninstalled that you'd rather keep, you have your answer.09:57

joshmcbrianpWins, I'm not familiar with it. I know that with rvm there was a specific way you had to invoke gem, rvmsudo, if you installed it system-wide (i.e. /usr/local ), and the initial documentation of rbenv rings very similar to rvm (to my ears)10:00
llutzszal: not here, its offtopic10:00
llutzOldOneEye: ^^ sry zal10:00
brianpWinsjoshmc: yeah rbenv and rvm are solving the same issues so I'll look into that a bit more. Although with root. i can bundle install with success10:01

brianpWinsnot bundle install10:01
brianpWinsgem install10:01
joshmcbrianpWins: gem install with root? and `which gem` turns up a version-specific gem ?10:02
brianpWinsjoshmc: which gem gives me /usr/local/rbenv/shims/gem and when logged in with root gem install works fine10:03
joshmcbrianpWins: are there ruby/gem binaries in version/<vers>/bin ?? even symlinks or something (again, going off of rvm-based knowledge)10:06
hilarieon my seedbox with 3 days uptime, my ratio on ubuntu desktop 11.10 is .02 is it http seeded or something?10:06

RalieghUhh, fine. We'll mess with MySQL. I changed my sources.list to a default sources.list I found online (since my VPS doesn't offer a good list). apt-install mysql-server returns this:11:37

albech!lamp | Sanus11:37
theadminRaliegh: Did you run apt-get update after changing the list?11:37
conntrackiceroot: That wasn't the question11:37
ubottuSanus: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)11:37

icerootSanus: use the example for kde11:41
SanusThank you.11:42
alex_ole!sl11:42
Ralieghiceroot: Well, I get a sources list but it only has like... 3 lines, no universe or multiverse. No repositories I truly need.11:42
icerootRaliegh: sudo sed -i s/hardy/natty/ /etc/apt/sources.list11:42
icerootRaliegh: first change the hardy-lines which are complettly wrong11:43
JasonGriffeehow do I change grub timeout?11:43
Ralieghiceroot: Ran that command, no errors returned but quick spacing to next line. And honestly I've no idea how to properly edit the sources file other than adding/removing whole lines.11:44
vibhavJasonGriffee: GRUB2 or GRUB?11:44
JasonGriffeeubuntu 11.10 default11:44
Ralieghiceroot: that command and update seemed to have fixed it though, I can now install MySQL11:44
icerootRaliegh: great11:44
Raliegh5.1 only, but that's good enough for me. That's a command for the books. Thanks a lot. <311:44
icerootSanus: of course dont run the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop after if you dont want it11:45
icerootRaliegh: no, forget the command11:45
Kim4xJasonGriffee: it's probably in /etc/default/grub11:45
Sanusiceroot: *nods*11:45
icerootRaliegh: it should only be used when something like that is happening (which will not happen by default) never use that command to upgrade your distri11:45
Ralieghiceroot: It resets the sources back to default no? Seems I'll have to do this after any VPS install. I've never owned a VPS that offers proper sources.11:46
icerootRaliegh: it will replace the string "hardy" with the string "natty"11:46
Ralieghiceroot: Oooooh. Well, luckily enough it worked (for MySQL at least) so I guess it's a good thing I just needed hardy added.11:47
icerootRaliegh: if that is the default your provider is offering to you after you get the vps, beat him :)11:47
vibhavJasonGriffee: You need to edit /etc/default/grub (gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub) and change the GRUB_TIMEOUT parameter. The value of this parameter is in seconds11:47
Ralieghiceroot: Hahaha. I'll make sure to do that. xD11:47

Gentoo64it shouldnt matter where you put files as long as you know what you're doing12:20
syn-ackDon't know. like others have said, the error you're having seems to suggest a key error12:21
TimothyAwell, it doesn't put the error in any of the files of /var/log12:21
TimothyAsyn-ack: key error?12:21
syn-ackin other words a decryption error12:21

Rictoothanks, i'll check it out12:25
zykotick9luist, fyi you need to do the mounting of proc,sys, ETC. before you chroot not after.  But looks like you're using encrypted file system as well, so I can't help12:25
syn-ackTimothyA...12:25
Gentoo64Rictoo: look on their site. they done a lot of code improvements so it might work better12:25
TimothyAsyn-ack: no12:25
syn-ackI wonder if your initrd is jacked up for some reason12:25
zykotick9luist, you can see "/msg ubottu grub2" link for proper chroot instructions12:25
Rictoo"GraphicsMagick supports huge images and has been tested with gigapixel-size images."12:26
Rictooah, that's what i'm talking about. ;)12:26
Gentoo64:)12:26
syn-ackTimothyA, Did this start happening after an upgrade?12:26
Rictoowish i'd known this before i automated a system of dling image chunks off a website and deleting the originals12:26
Rictoohaha12:26
Gentoo64Rictoo: i think the commands are the same but im not 100% sure12:27

TimothyAthe thing is, vbox is installed, and it shouldn't be failing12:28

TimothyAand yes; I have reinstalled the guest additions 10 times now12:29
syn-ackVbox isn't failing.12:29
Gentoo64Rictoo: you might have th read the docs, im not sure about the commands. but afaik it can do everything imagemagick can12:29
TimothyAthen I'm wondering what, because I can't find any logs to help me resolve the damn thing12:29
Rictooi mean, they're not showing off how much faster +append is12:29
TimothyAthis is almost as useful as windows's hardware error "Cannot start (code 10)"12:30

cravenWhat's the best way to get my Personal Hotspot working on ubuntu 11.04? Don't have a wifi card so it would need to be the USB drivers.14:32
rootuxthx14:32
icerootcraven: ?14:32
dr_willisPersonal Hotspot is what exactly?14:32
icerootcraven: you dont have a wifi-card?14:32
craveniceroot: dr_willis: iPhone tethering14:32
jpmhdeej1976:  no - that's the rub - when I right click it bnrings me back to the one that is already open if there is one14:32
usr13TimothyA: On another issue, you need to repair your soruces.list file.14:32
craveniceroot: nope, I have a external wifi dongle but couldn't get the linux drivers for it to work14:33
sattu94I believe it's called USB tethering, a hotspot is exclusively wi-fi, right ?14:33
dr_willisa external wifi dongle... is a wireless card. :) its just a usb one..14:33
icerootcraven: a linux-driver for the iphone as wifi-adapter?14:33
deej1976jpmh: Just install putty14:33
dr_willisbbl14:33
deej1976jpmh: Just installing putty myself14:33
cravensattu94: the full thing is called 'Personal Hotspot' on the phone14:33
TimothyAgreat, now dbus is malfunctioning14:33
CharminTheMooseOn a default ubuntu install for 11.04, can I just disable cron or will all kinds of bad stuff happen?14:33
icerootCharminTheMoose: not a good idea to disable cron14:34
craveniceroot: no a ubuntu driver for the iphone as a usb dongle (it shows up as a ethernet connection on winxp)14:34
jpmhdeej1976: what do you mean - I have putty installed - that's why I can open it from there14:34
cravenI found this tutorial http://www.marvinlemos.net/?p=321 but will I be able to install repositorys without a internet connection?14:34
deej1976jpmh: I've installed putty to have a look14:34
icerootcraven: hm sorry dont know, i (luckily) dont have stuff from apple14:34
CharminTheMooseiceroot, why not? What stuff does cron manage?14:34
icerootCharminTheMoose: e.g. logrotate14:35
sattu94craven: yes you need the internet, to get stuff from the repositories.14:35
icerootCharminTheMoose: and everything you will find with this command /cat /etc/cron.*14:35
icerootCharminTheMoose: what is the reason you want to disable cron?14:35
cravensattu94: I have the internet on my xp partition (the one I'm on atm) anyway I could download them to my external hard drive and run them off that?14:35
bo_rooti just installed latest ubuntu on my mothers laptop and now i cant enable wireless, switch is not responding and its shut down, any hints?14:36
icerootcraven: you can to that with deb-files, yes14:36
jpmhin unity I now have in the launcher a tab for Update Manager, there is a number 32 in it,  when I click on it nothing happens - why not14:36
sattu94craven: but you dont get deb files from repos.14:36
placki4everbo_root: Open the Terminal and run "lspci" so we can know what wireless card you have14:36
rootuxafter i set up my system to ubuntu 11.04 (my network controller is: Broadcom Corpartion BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wirless LAN Controller) I only can etablish a wirless connection to the router, but if i start a browser it says connection to the sever can't be establish. What can I do ?14:36
CharminTheMooseiceroot, I don't personally have a need to run it anyway, like, I could run any of the commands I care about on an as-needed basis.14:37
bo_rootplacki4ever: BCM4322514:37
CharminTheMooseLogrotate I could run when I needed to, like.14:37
icerootCharminTheMoose: that is not a good reason to disable cron14:37
topriddyhope this is valid: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gillesg/ppa14:37
icerootCharminTheMoose: have a look at cat /etc/cron.daily/*  some of that sounds important14:37
placki4everbo_root and rootux: If you don't find any other solution, you can try using ndiswrapper to install the windows driver14:37
icerootTimothyA: sounds correct14:38
cravensattu94: iceroot: I think I've found the deb-files here (https://launchpad.net/~pmcenery/+archive/ppa) not sure which 'ipheth' to download as there are several14:38
usr13TimothyA: YOU are malfunctioning.  I would say that the first thing you need to do is edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the last 6 lines.14:38
TimothyAusr13: ... it doesn't even LOAD anything from those repositories except for nginx14:38
icerootcraven: what is the output of "cat /etc/issue"14:38
topriddyhow do i tell apt-get to prefer 32bit files when on a 64 bit linux system?14:39
usr13TimothyA: Ok well you seem to know more about this than me.  Sorry.  I'll move on.14:39
iceroottopriddy: why?14:39
craveniceroot: don't have access to that atm as I'm on a different partition. I assume the version I'm supposed to download is derived from my ethernet card?14:39
bo_rootplacki4ever: i am using ndiswrapper on FreeBSD, but to use it on ubuntu, i mean, i heard that on ubuntu works almost everything out of the box :)14:39
MonkeyDusttopriddy  you need ia-lib something14:39
icerootcraven: no just the ubuntu-version is important. 10.10, 11.04, 11.10 or something like that14:40
placki4everbo_root: yes, "almost", broadcom wireless seems to be one of those things who don't14:40
sattu94craven: and your CPU arch, ubuntu version14:40
topriddyiceroot: some stuff in the repos i added doesnt find amd64 indexes and is messing up my installations14:40

sattu94jjg: gnome comes with ubuntu, kde comes with kubuntu14:42
placki4everrootux: you can get its gui by sudo apt-get install ndis-gtk - this should also give ndiswrapper's cli14:42
jjgsattu94: got it, tx14:42
craveniceroot: sattu94: Thanks, found a general one (I think) and will try the natty one if that fails.14:42

synapseI am running 2.6.32-35-generic #78, if I do a git clone of git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git, is it possible for me to use my existing /boot/config-2.6.32-35-generic as the .config when rebuilding?  I want to ensure everything is exactly the same except a hack I've made14:42
icerootcraven: great14:42
jjgsattu94: will apt-get not resolve the dependencies for me?14:42
rootuxthanks a lot :_)14:42
icerootsynapse: yes the config should match because its the ubuntu-config14:42
sattu94jjg: it will, but gnome will probably be bare bones GUI,14:43
icerootjjg: it will14:43

tjaderHi. When I insert a SD disk or USB drive and try to open it via the unity launcher it tries to open the folder with the archive manager. How can I fix that?14:44
icerootjjg: you are using unity at the moment?14:44
jjgiceroot: it's a server install in a VM14:45
iceroottopriddy: Starting with version 0.8.8, the Debian packages only support Lucid and subsequent releases. You have two options:14:45
JHHI cannot instal anything on software center, it says to check my internet connection. The internet conectgion is fine but it will not install. this has happened with lots of different apps i've tried to install14:45
jjgiceroot: I think I will create another VM with a GUI instead of downloading the packages .. it is 1.4 GB14:45
sattu94jjg: if you need something lightweight lxde,xfce might do your job..14:45
jjgsattu94: ok thanks14:45
icerootjjg: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will bring you gnome3 + unity14:45

JHH<iceroot>I cannot instal anything on software center, it says to check my internet connection. The internet conectgion is fine but it will not install. this has happened with lots of different apps i've tried to install14:46
jjgiceroot: if I do a default desktop install, does that include gnome3 + unity14:46
icerootJHH: can you ping google.com?14:46
sattu94jjg: yes, if you have 11.10+..14:46
placki4everrootux: hmm... I forgot if it's in the repos or not... Anyway it *should* be on the CD14:46
jjgiceroot: I don't .. but after I installed I realized I want to keep multiple terminals open in my VM so I need X14:46
icerootjjg: yes14:46
JoniiI've used two systems, and both 10.4 and 11.10, and the problem persist, so I think I can say that this is simply a bug in ubuntu14:46
icerootjjg: yes but needing x is different to install complete gnome3 with ubuntu-stuff14:47
jjgiceroot: tx14:47
icerootjjg: you can use ssh to connect to your vm or you can install x14:47
sattu94jjg: and if u need multiple terminals, try byobu, or screen , or ctrl+alt+F(num)14:47
sattu94jjg: on a server.14:47
jjgiceroot: yep .. thanks14:47

topriddyiceroot: i dont understand the *Lucid and subsequent releases part* I am on Ubuntu 11.10. I have tried manual installation too and it fails. i am grabbing on straws now. :(14:51
iceroottopriddy: lucid is ubuntu 10.0414:52

jpmhdeej1976: putty is MUCH better that ssh - right now what I am doing to make the second instance is: terminal and then invoking putty there - horrible kludge14:52
MonkeyDustluist  according to fstab, it seems you mounted / to some non-recognized device14:52
placki4everluist: maybe there's no partition set as "/" in /etc/fstab or it's set incorrectly?14:52
iceroottopriddy: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gillesg/ppa && sudo apt-get udpate && sudo apt-get install libv4l4j-java14:53
jpmhdeej1976: and more to the point - what if I want to do this with other things - does unity stop me14:53
luistMonkeyDust: placki4ever: its a chroot and tutorial only told me to mount /sys and /rpoc14:53

JHH<iceroot>  okay pasted there14:53
icerootJHH: i need the link to view it14:53

topriddyiceroot: i did all that before. on runing of second command i get a 404 Not Found error on /binary-amd64/Packages14:54
placki4everluist: Well, looks like the system is telling you to mount something as "/" now,  see if that helps14:54
topriddyiceroot: then i decided to try the sane/sane.d/jsane option. met headaches with that too. :(14:55
icerootJHH: hm everything is fine and the package-files are transfered succesfully14:55
deej1976Pilif12p: Have you tried adding -o loop14:55
luistplacki4ever: what should i mount as "/" ?14:55
iceroottopriddy: then the ppa is not providing stuff for ubuntu 11.1014:55
iceroottopriddy: contact the ppa maintainer /wiki author and ask if there is a ppa for 11.1014:55
JHHso why wont it let me install?14:55

tarvidobviously a kernel bug14:59
icerootjpmh: open a terminal and type "screen"14:59
icerootjpmh: also see "man screen"14:59
icerootjpmh: when inside the screen session you can use "ctrl + a +c" to open a new screen/tab, switch them with "ctrl + a + n"15:00
topriddyiceroot: i wonder why the manual installation sucks though. I keep going in circles of dependency management. would wish all other deps were transparently just installed.15:00
icerootjpmh: screen will also hold the session open, even when you close the ssh connection15:00
iceroottopriddy: not when the versions are not matching15:00
iceroottopriddy: then you dont want an automaticly installation15:01

webBuilderJordan_U, I really did ask a legitimate problem no one answer except gang banging on my complains15:52

phunyguy_hey folks, is network-manager able to manage bridged connections?15:52
ragnarokhere?15:52
odb|fidelwebBuilder: dont you get it? your input is not about support - so you are somehow in the wrong place to discuss it15:52
phunyguy_I am trying to set up a virtual machine host with KVM and bridged networking.  I used command line to create the bridge, but then network manager gets upset and stops managing the network.15:52
icerootincorrect: partition will be faster (but i dont think you will see the differences)15:52

Jordan_UwebBuilder: If nobody knows the answer to your question then nobody will answer it. That does not give you a right to continue with offtopic and unproductive complaining. This is your last warning to stop.15:53
incorrecticeroot, i was thinking about using a file on an encrypted partition, rather than using encrypted swap15:53
zykotick9incorrect, a swap file can also not be used for hibernation15:53
domnicincorrect, if you have low ram swap will help you till some extend15:53
incorrectmaybe i should just upgrade to 8GB and forget having swap15:54
llutzthere are hibernation-methods working with swap-files. just the default won't15:54
domnicincorrect, what you really want to do15:55
incorrectoh yes, 8gb is nothing15:55
UICTamaleI am not sure that the default AMD linux driver includes support for my card. I don't see a list of cards it supports anywhere.  I did however find this page:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/57612/dell-m6600-amd-firepro-m8900-graphics-driver-and-power-issues15:55
incorrectin terms of cost15:56
sipiorincorrect: you'll want at least some swap, irrespective of ram allotment.15:56
incorrectsipior, i don't care about hibernate15:56
zykotick9phunyguy, i'd be surprised if N-M can do bridging stuff, i too use KVM+bridge networking (but no N-M here).  Best of luck, with your N-M VPN you might need it ;)15:57
Thetawavesincorrect, no performance hit15:57
sipiorincorrect: i wasn't referring to hibernation.15:57
incorrectwhy would i want swap with more ram than i can shake a stick at?15:57
phunyguy_doh... thanks zykotick915:57
sipiorincorrect: you'll want swap to handle unused memory allocations, to keep them out of ram.15:57
webBuilderJordan_U,  since you worned me here is a good question then 1) why there is new version of ubuntu every 6 month, 2) why it's pops up if I do not upgrade to the new version the message every time I start the machine, and yet when I upgrade things are not working, is there a way to stop those messages and stick to the older version15:57
incorrectsipior, just means they have to swap in if i need them15:58
sipiorincorrect: trading €0.10/GB disk space for €20+/GB ram is not terribly clever.15:58

Jordan_UwebBuilder: 1) Is not a support question, please stop asking. 2) I don't know of a way to stop those messages other than installing an LTS release of Ubuntu and making sure that only LTS Releases prompt for upgrades (the default if you originally installed an LTS release).16:00
zykotick9phunyguy, does the box you're connecting to have compiz running?  if so, try disabling compiz and see if VNC works then.16:01

phunyguy_zykotick9, I can see the desktop and see stuff happening on the screen, just can't click.16:01
Jordan_UwebBuilder: Note that even though I don't know of any other way, I'm sure there is one. But keep in mind that you will need to upgrade eventually when the Ubuntu version you're running goes EOL.16:02
Jordan_UwebBuilder: You're welcome.16:02
zykotick9phunyguy, yes i know - i read it the first time ;)16:02

javier_fajHi! I have a problem with Ubuntu Virtualbox running windows 7. I have mounted my ubuntu home profile, and I can explore it normally. But, if I open a program (microsoft word, for example) and open an explorer (for open a file, save a file, whatever) it goes extremelly slow. I think the reason is that I see my "home folder" (which is detected as an unit) marked as disconnected, but can't change that. Someone knows how can I fix this? Thanks!16:05
topriddyodb|fidel: I am wondering why it wont just install dependencies and let me be.16:05
Gentoo64topriddy: you could try changing the mirror16:05
pangur /me tries vibhav's advice16:05
usuarioolA16:05
topriddyGentoo64: mirror? i thought we could have several repos url in ubuntu?16:05
pangurOK, that worked, thanks, vibhav :)16:06
genii-aroundtopriddy: sudo apt-get update grabs the most updated list of packages. So if you run it just before trying to install something, the packages will have much less chance of unmet dependencies.16:06

topriddygenii-around: i added a ppa:XXXX to repos, it keeps giving Not Found error everytime i run an update. i think i should remove it, but not sure how16:07
pangurIs there a way of editing/replacing icons in launcher?16:08
SeaWookiepangur: try system, preferences, main menu16:08
genii-aroundtopriddy: Any PPAs you added will be in the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d/  .. you can ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/   to get the name it has there for it, then sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/whatever-ppa-name-is.list16:08
oratedJordan_U: Is MBR way the default style of partitioning used by Ubuntu? How much space I should assign when using GParted to create GPT before installation?

Gentoo64pangur: that might be for gnome216:11
SeaWookiepangur: what version of ubuntu?16:11
pangur11.1016:11

pangurNot eager to go back to 10 though :)16:14
Gentoo64Andy80: /home should only be a few MB anyway unless you store videos or whatever in there16:14
Gentoo64pangur: theres other variants of ubuntu with different desktops16:14
xangua!nounity | pangur16:15
pangurThis was the default wubi installation.16:15
xanguathere are also kde, xfde, lxde...16:15
ubottupangur: Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default.  To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool".  For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic16:15
Andy80Gentoo64: well... my /home is lot of Gb since it contains pictures, video, documents ecc...16:15
Gentoo64look at kubuntu, it looks a bit like windows 716:15
domnicAndy80, please tell the problem to session ..16:15
Gentoo64Andy80: well if the apps are different versions, then itll mess up the configs. i would make a partition/drive for the pics and vids and share that16:15
pangurThanks xangua and Gentoo64.16:16

zykotick9Andy80, sharing home between two different installs can certainly lead to issue (but might not) - it's certainly a risk for breaking the ~/.* config files for both installs (you've been warned, now do as you want)16:18

ubottub0ot: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)16:19

fission6i am not sure how to give the right permissions, do i add a group or what/16:30
llutzfission6:  adjust ownership/permissions on unix-fs16:30
fission6i know whats going on, mongod use needs r+w for the folder16:30
Gentoo64jww: i thought he meant to a normal mount16:30
Gentoo64then sudo would be right16:30
llutzGentoo64: nonsense16:30
fission6sudo what?16:30
Gentoo64llutz: ?16:31
jwwfission6: sudo nothing, show us the command you type, and the error message.16:31
fission6i just need to make the user mongod be able to read and write to.from /the/db/path16:31

fission6Unable to create/open lock file: /space/mongodb/db/mongod.lock errno:13 Permission denied Is a mongod instance already running?, terminating16:31
fission6and no, its not running16:31
llutzGentoo64: that what file-permissions are for.16:31
kyubutsufission6: add the user to the group the folder belongs to16:31
Gentoo64llutz: well yeah you could chmod or chown, but thats not always the best way. sometimes you want to keep stuff owned by root16:32
jwwfission6: so what does ls -l /space/mongodb/db do ?16:32
llutzGentoo64: not in this case.16:32

galvaoI'm looking for performance tips, related to my post at ubuntu forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1884480 Can anyone shed some light on this?17:46
SolarisBoyKimble: /proc file system resides in memory so vim may be reporting errors regarding that,, its not really on a disk17:46
pepeetopriddy, check if it's being recognized17:46
zykotick9Kimble, <warning this could possibly be wrong> "sudo echo 5 > /proc/whateveritis"17:46
KimbleSolarisBoy: I've tried echoing.  it fails even with sudo.17:46
Kimblepermission denied error.17:46
SolarisBoyyou may not be able to write to that file as you are trying than17:47
SolarisBoywell you can do tee -a17:47
Kimblejust so you know, this is a change suggested by the Ubuntu documentation.17:47
trismsavid: probably need zlib1g-dev (although PIL is in the repos, python-imaging package)17:47
Kimblehttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/PowerManagement/ReducedPower17:47
SolarisBoyecho something | sudo tee -a /proc/wherever/file17:47
icerootoCean: so i dont get the difference between "apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)" and "apt-get install linux-source-3.0.0"17:47
icerootoCean: if i am correct, both contains the uncompiled kernel17:47
SolarisBoyor don't append rather...17:48
SolarisBoyover write17:48
Kimbleah, so ignore the -a switch then.17:48
SolarisBoyecho something | sudo tee /proc/wherever/file17:48
SolarisBoyyes17:48
savidtrism,  I'm installing PIL within a virtualenv,  which is why I need the dev packages.  I have zlib1g-dev installed.  Any ideas why it wouldn't be working?17:48
Kimbletrying now...17:48
SolarisBoyOR try the same echo command as root.. either or should work for you17:48
savidtrism, this is ubuntu Natty, btw17:48
fellayaboyis their a way to see all the options for /desktop/gnome/remote_access???17:49
trismsavid: if you pastebin the output with the errors, I'll take a look, but otherwise I don't know17:49
KimbleSolarisBoy: that did the trick. Thank you.17:49
SolarisBoywelcome17:50
trismsavid: you could also try: sudo apt-get build-dep python-imaging;17:50

oratedIs MBR way the default style of partitioning used by Ubuntu? How much space I should assign when using GParted to create GPT before installation?

savidHi, I'm trying to install PIL within a virtualenv.  I'm getting "ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support not available".  Does anyone know what packages I need in ubuntu to support this?18:01
savidI have zlib1g-dev installed.  Thought that was it, but PIL isn't seeing it.18:02
zykotick9urlin2u, well, nomodeset isn't really "low graphics boot"... it doesn't use KMS(or KMV) kernel drivers really18:02
trismsavid: you should probably mention you're installing it with pip, since zlib1g-dev is the correct package, so the problem is actually that pip isn't finding it it seems18:02
tableszykotick9, the PPA doesn't work18:03
saviddoh, meant to type that in #pip18:03

Osmodivszykotick9: You seem like a programer, so, please, can you tell me if something wrong might happens if I messed things up? Like the site says: "I found that the most convenient way to achieve this is to create two little gxx scripts that are executed instead of the /usr/bin/gxx ones. The scripts choose the right version of gxx based on the existence of an environment variable. I put these scripts in my ~/bin directory and placed them in my path before18:19
Osmodivsthe /usr/bin entry." So,  he means I need to put this script file in /bin instead of /usr/bin. So the system always reads /bin before /usr/bin, Correct?18:19

james538227hey, i have just created a new user on my ubuntu server but the bash is not the same as the root user i.e. doesnt have name@host in the command line, can anyone give any advice on how to fix this?18:33
TK5791_calum: I'm using Unity18:34
zykotick9james538227, next time use "adduser foo" instead.  Copy the files from /etc/skel to the users home dir.18:34
llutzjames538227: configure PS1 in your .bashrc/.profile18:34
phunyguy_workjames538227, copy and chown the /etc/skel folder contents18:34
_calumahh, don't know for Unity, sorry :(18:34
SolarisBoyallowoverride: you may want to also |grep -v grep as it will show you yourself looking for this string also18:34
llutzjames538227: check your shell, echo $SHELL18:34
TK5791I'm used to using Win XP18:34
arrrghhhTK5791, look for keyrings i guess?18:34
diatomaceous_Guys, I can't be the only one here using the open-source radeon drivers.. has no one else noticed extreme performance issues after this morning's update?18:34
TK5791so what if I wanted my programs folder... where could I locate it?18:34
james538227llutz, my shell is /bin/sh18:34
zykotick9TK5791, my recommendation is disable autologin then it won't be an issue18:34
arrrghhhTK5791, that's not a simple answer.  /bin is where most of your "programs" are.  or /usr/bin rather.18:35
llutzjames538227: set your shell, use usermod18:35
zykotick9james538227, sh vs bash - big difference18:35

MetroshicaI'm trying to set up a ubuntu repository for 11.04 for 64 bit. I"m not sure which sources to use. Everything I see online is different. Do I need to include the deb-src indexes as well? What are they even for? If I include them, the repository is 80 gb, which seems huge. And should I put deb in front of the indexes in the config file, or deb-amd64?19:50
anraTK5791: which kind of problem do you have?19:50
mang0jacob@ubuntujacob:~$ bzr branch lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel web2py Woul that command run forever, or only untill something has downloaded?19:51
CloudQcI completely fucked up my machine. It says sudo must be setuid root after I did a chown root:admin .19:51
CloudQchow do I unbreak it?19:51
ntr0pyjrib: i could name it the same, but that would be ugly because its correct name is another.19:51
TK5791anra: thank you. when loading the browser I get the following error message "Your profile could not be opened correctly"19:52
Tm_TCloudQc: language, please19:52
jribntr0py: I don't understand.  Is this not just a different version of the same package?19:52
ISBBanyone familiar with xinerama and nvidia setups?19:52

ubottuCloudQc: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.19:52
anraTK5791: hmm, did you have something important there that you don't want to lose?19:52
zykotick9ISBB, nvidia's version os xinerama is called twinview - you can typically setup dual monitors in nvidia-settings.  What are you having issues with?19:53
nDuffI'm running a dual-core system with Ubuntu's 3.0.0-12-generic kernel, and only one of my 2 cores is showing up in /proc/cpuinfo (and htop). Expected?19:53
ntr0pyjrib: no its nginx-extras with a newer version (it has more modules compiled in) vs the installed nginx-full (older version with fewer modules), it has different names but provides the same functionality according to dependencies19:53
TK5791anra: not really... when I first launched the browser I sync Google and it worked well but for some reason it gone a little hayware19:54
jribntr0py: seems strange, but I don't have time to fully understand.  You can accomplish what you asked using the Provides keyword (see debian-policy manual)19:54
genii-aroundCloudQc: What directory did you run the chown in? /usr/bin or something?19:54
ntr0pyIs it possible to disable any dependencies functionality from dpkg?19:54
jribntr0py: you would never want to do that19:54
ISBBzykotick9, xinerama is running spans 3 monitors great.. however im having issues with setting a default monitor.  I.E. screen0 is default, screen 1 is left of 0 and screen 2 is right of 0 sounds all great and dandy.  However xinerama wants to make screen 1 default menu bar's panels so on and so forth.  funny thing when i log in its setup perfect.  Login screen is screen 0 and cursor left and right works great. i cant seem to get xinerama to19:55
ISBBplay nice by setting screen 0 to default19:55
CloudQcoh umm / (yeah it chmod usr/bin too - the whole system)19:55
ISBBrunning xubuntu 11.10 btw19:55
anraTK5791: okay, if you don't mind losing your stuff (at least temporarily) I guess the easiest solution would be to move your config folder19:55
ntr0pyjrib: i need it right not because dpkg it not intelligent enough to understand19:55
ntr0py*now19:55
ShawnRiskI am trying to setup ssh and when I goto /root/.ssh/config it doesn't find anything.  How come?19:55
TK5791anra: ok, how so?19:55
jribntr0py: huh?  I just told you how to make one package "provide" another one19:56
TK5791if I move it will it create a new one?19:56
ActionParsnipShawnRisk: what are you trying to achieve?19:56
anrayes19:56
zykotick9ISBB, i've only ever used the nivida-settings tool to set the default monitor, not sure how it's dealt with on actual xinerama installations.  Good luck.19:56
llutzShawnRisk: personal config file doesn''t exist by default19:56
anrajust open the file manager19:56
anrapress Ctrl + H19:56
anrato display hidden files19:56
anrago to .config then19:56
ISBBxinerama is part of nvidia.. you can only set default monitor under twinview19:56
ShawnRiskActionParsnip: http://notbrainsurgery.livejournal.com/39281.html19:56

alex-I got a problem with wireless internet at school, when I connect to the router it's connecting, and then it says 'disconnected, you are now offline'. I'm running ubuntu 11.04 with the gnome 2.0 interface. The only way to get internet is to reboot into windows, make the connection there, reboot into ubuntu, connect to the network. But when I put my laptop in stand-by I have to do this stuff...19:58
ShawnRiskActionParsnip: yes on step 219:58
Varazirtried purge grub-common but still it will upgrade19:58
alex-...again to make it work. Isn't there any easy way to make it work?19:58
ntr0pyjrib: can i somehow just deinstall nginx-full ignoring all dependencies?19:58
ShawnRiskActionParsnip: but didn't create ./ssh folder19:58
ActionParsnipShawnRisk: ok then put it in your user's ~/.ssh directory19:58
jribntr0py: you would never want to do that...19:58
llutzShawnRisk: you shouldn't ssh as root at all, use users ssh-config19:59
ntr0pyjrib: i need exactly that right now19:59
TK5791anra: I'm completely clueless.... and very frustrated... I thought open source was supposed to be user friendly, but in reality its terrible19:59
ShawnRiskActionParsnip: how so?19:59
jribntr0py: no you don't.  You need to fix how you created your package.  If you want to ignore my advice, use equivs (you should just fix your package) or one of the force flags to dpkg (this will leave your system in a broken state)20:00

Quantum_IonTK5791, lol Open Source is not really user friendly there is a high learning curve in most cases20:00
TK5791you need to be some sort of computer nut to understand any of this20:00
Quantum_IonTK5791, sort of20:00
anraTK5791: don't worry20:00
anraI'll help you20:00

Quantum_IonTK5791, Computers and programming is really not easy stuff anyway20:00
Varazirhow do I ignore a update ?20:00

skritehey all ,  i have a web directory that i need my regular user to write images to, but the www-data user to be able to read them and serve them on the internet. How do i go about doing that?20:01
ActionParsnipTK5791: if youo rename the config folders for chrome or firefox in Windows in you windows profile folder, it does the same thing20:01
TK5791I just the file system very confusing.... I haven't played with Command Prompt (terminal) for years20:01
Quantum_IonTK5791, User friendliness is all an ILLUSION20:02
ActionParsnipShawnRisk: make the folder.    mkdir ~/.ssh20:02
Quantum_IonLike you can PUSH a MAGIC BUTTON and get INSTANT PUDDING20:02
anraTK5791: you don't need to do it through the terminal20:02
TK5791not to knock this stuff.... but at least I can find the folder where all the software is stored20:02
reisioQuantum_Ion: and now I want pudding, thanks a lot...20:02
Quantum_Ionreisio, lol20:02
ActionParsnipTK5791: ~/.mozilla    holds all the config folders for all mozilla products, you will have a firefox folder and a thunderbird folder. Doesn't get more logical than that20:03
KentrelMy system seems to slow down after it's been on for a week or so. Gnome-system-monitor doesn't really show any likely culprits. Any other ideas?20:03

Quantum_IonTK5791, I remember the DOS days on my IBM PCjr20:03
ShawnRiskllutz: I see that thread but which folder am I in when I do ssh-keygen?20:03
ActionParsnipTK5791: ~/.config/chromium20:03
TK5791don't use Chromium... I use Chrome20:04
ActionParsnipTK5791: so you can run:   mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium_old20:04
llutzShawnRisk: your $HOME, theres no need to use /root at all20:04
ShawnRiskokay20:04
ActionParsnipTK5791: same folder afaik20:04
zykotick9ActionParsnip, i'm guessing the OP is using google-chrome, not chromium (i could be wrong)20:04
Quantum_IonTK5791, The great thing about Linux is basically all your development tools are FREE but you just have to figure out how to use them20:05
llutzShawnRisk: better to use forced-commands only, http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html20:05
ActionParsnipTK5791: or you may find ~/.config/google-chrome/20:05
ShawnRiskokay20:06
CloudQcdoes ubuntu have any VMs so I can test what happens when... without having to reformat?20:06
tyler_dCloudQc: you can go ahead and install some vm's using vbox20:06
bekksCloudQc: You have to create your own vm.20:06

PessimismI have `postinstall` file for an DotCloud project. I have run `chmod +x postinstall`, but DotCloud still gives me: "Warning. postinstall file exists, but it is not executable." What am I doing wrong?20:07
ntr0pyjrib: "sudo dpkg -P --force-all nginx-full" did the trick, thanks anyways20:08
CloudQcAlso - I have a 64 bit machine so I installed 64bit ubuntu the first time. However, the interface is slow to react, is that normal or should I just reinstall it in 32bit since im reformatting right now20:08
mang0bzr branch lp:~mdipierro/web2py/devel web2py I ran that command in terminal, and it's taking foreeever to download. is this usual, or is it my net, or is it just never going to finish?20:08
trshhsI have an issue with grub2 on my headless server. Sometimes a reboot requires interaction/keyboard. What can the cause be?20:08
zykotick9CloudQc, your graphics card probably makes more of a difference then the CPU bits20:09
Quantum_IonCloudQc, I would use an LTS release 64bit for stability20:09
TK5791ActionParsnip20:09
Quantum_IonCloudQc, For example 10.04 Ubuntu Linux LTS 64bit but thats just me20:09
TK5791ActionParsnip: thanks20:09
Quantum_IonCloudQc, LTS equals Long Term Stable20:10
reisiotrshhs: what sort of interaction20:10
zykotick9Quantum_Ion, close - Long Term Support ;)20:10
genii-aroundPessimism: What does the first line of the file contain? eg: Is it a shebang pointing to what program to use to run it, or is it something else20:11
Pessimismgenii-around: `#!/bin/sh`20:11
CloudQcIs there a huge difference between 32b and 64b anyways? vid card is nvidia 8800 gt20:11
geoffmccTK5791: if you are having problems with chrome profile still go to /home/user/.config and delete the chromium folder and then open browser and will recreate profile20:11
zykotick9CloudQc, same vid card as mine - have you install nvidia-current from the ubuntu driver thing?20:12
Quantum_Ionzykotick9, right supposedly those LTS releases are supposed to be the most stable20:12
trshhsreisio: I need to press enter, timeout is not working. First i thought it is related to kernelupdates but it appears more unpredictable20:12
reisioCloudQc: not "huge", no, but large20:13
reisiotrshhs: GRUB's timeout?20:13
zykotick9CloudQc, if you have 4+ GB RAM use 64bit, if you have less - it's up to you20:13
CloudQcI suppose since I havent gone to nvidia to download some20:13
tyler_dCloudQc: do not do that20:13

CloudQcso the main diff between LTS and non-LTS is that a non-LTS can be dropped from support anytime?20:22
jribCloudQc: no...20:22
jrib!lts | CloudQc20:22
ubottuCloudQc: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04)20:22
genii-aroundPessimism: Not offhand. I'm not familiar with the dotcloud20:22
jribCloudQc: non-lts is supported 18 months20:22
CloudQcso after 18months you have to reformat? Or are there just upgrades to a new 18 month supported version?20:23
jribCloudQc: you can upgrade20:23
jrib!upgrade | CloudQc20:23
ubottuCloudQc: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade20:23
jribCloudQc: every 6 months there is a new release you can upgrade to.  Alternatively, you can stay on LTS only and upgrade every 2 years20:23
jjgthis is probably an apache channel question .. BUT I can hit my vhosted page locally using lynx .. but can't get it to load externally.  I can see that there are no iptables present .. any recommendations on where I should look ?  are there perhaps some ubuntuisms that I need to be aware of?20:24
CloudQcOK thnx for info, ill go with the non-lts ;)20:24
StepNjump2Quick question: I have 2 separate HDDs: sda1 and sdb1. sda1 contains /, ~/ and all the other ubuntu partitions including swap and the rest. sdb1 is mounted in sda1 at /media/UUID_of course. no When I cd / and I du -sh, I get 60G however my sda1 is only 10G, is this normal that it will include the size of sdb1 also?20:24

sniz-from another distro, how would I get grub2 to recognize my wubi installed Ubuntu?20:31
zykotick9sniz-, i HIGHLY doubt you can...20:31
reisiosniz-: I think you'd just tell it where your Windows is (it should know already)20:31
reisioand Windows will give you a prompt20:31
reisioas it has already20:31
reisiosniz-: but why have two distros20:32
zykotick9better question, why use Wubi ;)20:32
sniz-trying them out20:32
=== stepnjump is now known as StepNjump
trshhsSmiz-: Run the menu configurator for grub2. It would usually find ubuntu20:33
zykotick9trshhs, it's not going to see a wubi install though20:33
reisioshouldn't need to20:33
ShawnRiskCan I setup sftp with proftpd or do I need openssh?20:33
sniz-wubi cuz i feared screwing up my windows install, i couldn't bear to have to redownload anything20:34
reisiosince Windows' loader sees it, and GRUB sees Windows' loader20:34
zykotick9reisio, i agree with your logic there - it's just doing going to see Wubi directly.20:34
zykotick9ShawnRisk, proftpd is ftp, not sftp20:34
ShawnRiskokay20:35
sniz-actually... thinking about it like that... I'm assuming that grub on the ubuntu side would see this distro, and detect it...20:35
reisiozykotick9: would be tricky, yeah :p20:35
ActionParsnipShawnRisk: openssh-server will give an sftp server as well as remote console as well as X forwarding ability :)20:35
ShawnRiskcool20:35
sniz-then just keep the windows bootloader, then grub only being there for linux side20:35
reisiosniz-: I wouldn't say GRUB can't have an entry just for your wubi install, just that you don't particularly need one20:35

zykotick9ShawnRisk, FYI you don't have to use sshfs if you use Gnome - just Places / Connect to Server / select SSH input info - DONE20:49
brontosaurusrexShawnRisk, why would you need sshfs anyway?20:49
ShawnRiskbrontosaurusrex: backing up20:50
ShawnRiskI need help to get this: http://notbrainsurgery.livejournal.com/39281.html20:50
zykotick9ShawnRisk, BUT there are some subtle differences between sshfs and the gnome fuse method - so sshfs "might" be better20:50
ShawnRiskfigured out20:50
llutzShawnRisk: you should set "PermitRootLogin no (or forced-commands-only)" in your sshd_config on your remote server20:51
see123i can continue without being registered then why i should requester20:51
basslinerhttp://occupyflash.org/ :D20:51
brontosaurusrexok, then as zykotick9 said or use a client like filezilla20:51

szalmachiolate: Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't have Gnome 221:15
machiolateszal, i installed Gnome 221:15
dcom23Rei`, you said you simply cannot boot from the bios that what we assume..please elaborate21:15
machiolateI didn't like Unity desktop21:16
Rei`dcom23: As I said, GRUB came up fine, selected Ubuntu and got a black screen, selecting Ubuntu Recovery works, and resume works, and I'm now at a tty shell21:16

glebihanmachiolate, and how did you proceed in installing gnome2 ?21:17
ruudtmachiolate: I'm very much into graphic. Part of the look and feel. Unity looks a whole lot different from other x apps. What about unity was that bad?21:17
MetroshicaUnity is terrible, they hide so much that they don't need to21:18
machiolategelbihan, it was just a sudo apt-get install, pretty simple. theres a ! command for the bots that tells you how to do it21:18
machiolatei can't remember exactly what i typed21:18
glebihanmachiolate, no it was not, gnome2 is not available in the repos for 11.1021:18
Rei`Koolvin: It's a Radeon HD 6310, part of the AMD E-350 Brazos chipset21:19
dcom23Rei`, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/xorg21:19
machiolateglebihan how do i check what I'm running?21:19
glebihanmachiolate, you probably installed gnome-session-fallback and gnome-panel, but that's not gnome221:19
machiolateahh, o.k. so it's just component parts you mean21:19
glebihanmachiolate, not even that, it's not gnome2 at all21:19
machiolatethe desktop is, yeah21:20
glebihanmachiolate, gnome-panel in gnome3 is different from what it was in gnome221:20
MetroshicaWhy Gnome 3 is terrible http://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/mklha/my_thoughts_on_gnome_3/21:20
brontosaurusrexthinking about it, brontosaurusnix would be a nice name for gnome2 distro :P21:20
machiolateahh, its gnome 321:20
machiolatewhtever21:20
szalMetroshica: we don't care here, this is support, not discussion about taste21:20
machiolateit was whatever installed with ubuntu 10.1021:20
Rei`dcom23: Apparently xserver-xorg isn't installed :/21:21
machiolatethat's what I was used to21:21
Rei`So this can't be an X issue21:21
Metroshicaszal: I agree, someone just asked what was wrong with it, thought I would share21:21
machiolateglebihan, someone told me it was gnome 2, so you're saying it's gnome 3?21:21
Rei`Is there an apt-package that I can use to install the entire ubuntu-desktop installation? Forgot to mention I installed from netboot media21:21
glebihanmachiolate, yes it is gnome3 (its fallback session)21:22
machiolateis there a way to check that you know of glebihan? thanks for clearing that up21:22
machiolatei.e. what desktop shell i'm running21:22
glebihanmachiolate, well "sudo apt-cache policy gnome-session" should give you your gnome version21:22
glebihanmachiolate, no need for sudo btw21:23
machiolate3.2.1-0ubuntu1... just the kernel i think, np tough, thanks21:24

Rei`Anyone answer? I've installed Ubuntu from netboot and don't have X installed, assume I'm missing other stuff, I'm at a command prompt, is there something I can install to get the ubuntu-desktop as if I'd installed from the typical CD?21:24

Rei`dcom23: Doing an apt-get install ubuntu-desktop21:26
dcom23Rei`, can you connect to Internet though  the cli21:26
kierkkadonFirst time linux user: how do I run a shell script file?21:27
Rei`dcom23: Yes, I'm wired in21:27
kierkkadonDo I have to copypasta the text of the file into a terminal?21:27
glebihanmachiolate, I don't think that's possible21:27
dcom23Rei`, then what the big deal follow the instructions linked to you21:28
machiolatelol, really? darn.21:28
glebihanmachiolate, well as I was trying to suggest, it's a *fallback* session, so it's kinda limited21:28
brontosaurusrexkierkkadon, no just ./file.sh will do it (if exe bit is set)21:28
Rei`dcom23: I started this download before you linked that to me, I don't have X installed and according to this I'm missing another 1.6GB of the Ubuntu desktop21:28

brontosaurusrexzosky, that should be doable with handbrake with some manual clickery and i assume it still supports avi files (unlikely)22:09
zykotick9zosky, you could try dvd::rip - not sure it has that feature mind you22:09
zykotick9brontosaurusrex, handbrake doesn't do avi anymore (smart move really)22:09
pepeelatest ati driver (11.11 from amd website) broke suspend/resume on my machine: I get a black screen, but the desktop environment works. how to solve it?22:11
TK5791almoxarife: thanks... anra just posted a link that suggested I sync without the password box ticked and this resolve... according to the google forum the problem resides with Ubuntu and is something to do with the login Keyring... something I was having trouble with before22:11
TK5791how do I keep the password sync in an extension?22:12
zykotick9pepee, i hope next time you think twice before installing drivers direct from manufacturer instead of using the distro's version (that might even be tested to work).  Good luck.22:12
brontosaurusrexzykotick9, ok, and yes handbrake is trying to be smart, even smarter than x264 (trying new ways to make some logic layer on top of excellent x264 internal one, pretty funny experience last time i tried...)22:12

idankis there an open David font for Ubuntu?22:13
zykotick9flashingpumpkin, i wouldn't expect there to be...22:13
szalwhat is a David font?22:13
ofShardBut it doesn't seem to be working. It isn't running after reboot when I do service mongodb status22:13

almoxarifeTK5791: and yes, don't allow chrome/ium to keep passwords local22:14
ofShardI imagine I'm doing something wrong with upstart.22:16
zykotick9almoxarife, ya - keeping your own passwords is a bad idea, giving them to Google to keep safe is a much better idea </sarcasm>22:16
dcom23almoxarife, its not only the passwd it store more many things ..about the browser history..22:16
pepeezykotick9, ubuntu's driver is a couple months old, and has it own problems22:17
TRiderHello all, what is the best sound controller for oneiric version ?22:17
almoxarifezykotick9: no, they don't go to google, they go to 'roboform', one must read to get the full effect, sarcasm22:17
pangolinCould someone remind me where bashrc is?22:17
zykotick9pepee, well, your issue is no longer with Ubuntu - you should contact AMD/ATI support if you have issues with their driver now22:17
pepeewhere do i do that?22:17
brontosaurusrexpangolin, locate bashrc22:17
pangolinbrontosaurusrex: heh, thank you :)22:18
almoxarifedcom23: if you are worried about 'history' or the bad man knowing where you are at I suggest 'tor browser'22:18
zykotick9almoxarife, s/Google/Roboform - my point is the same.  People's reliance on "the cloud", err "the fog" is bad for software freedom.  Do as you wish however.22:19
dcom23almoxarife, i really don't keep history its auto to clear after exit ..thanks22:19
Onepamopaguys, how to close port 80 to everyone and only allow it from 2 ip addresses with iptables?22:21
Advocatedhi there, out of interest, if i burn the iso image of 11.10 to dvd, can i run it as live and check temp/ram anyway?22:22
dcom23Onepamopa, post 80 is for dns i think so..22:22
atrunoAdvocated, you can install packages not on the cd and access them through the live try ubuntu session22:22
atrunoAdvocated, or use existing packages22:23
Onepamopadcom23 port 80 is web, not dns22:23
Onepamopadns is udp 5322:23
Onepamopa;)22:23
atrunowhat port is cups sharing ?22:23
dcom23thanks to know that..:))22:23
Advocatedatruno, any recommendations for checking temp / ram etc? or evne capacitors if possible22:23
anraOnepamopa: easiest way is to use ufw22:23
almoxarifedcom23: see 'analytics opt-out' , it's a start22:23
atrunoAdvocated, sudo apt-cache search temperature monitor.  for ram press shift to access grub menu and run memtest86+22:24
atrunoAdvocated, that might be easier done with a existing linux installation.  though i wouldn't say it would be otherwise impossible22:24

ActionParsnipnice22:26
Germanaz0hello everybody22:26
learningcwhat's the minimum size of the disk to install ubuntu on?22:26
Germanaz0I would like to know if I can boot windows with virtualbox and grub22:26
=== Smegma is now known as Zalgo
Germanaz0something like that22:26
ActionParsniplearningc: minimal is quite small, if you start putting an x server on and stuff it gets a lot bigger22:27
Advocatedatruno, can i do these on the actual live cd, i mean temp and ram?22:27
ActionParsnipGermanaz0: virtualbox can boot install Windows OSes, I've heard of data corruption and your games will run badly, if at all22:28
learningcActionParsnip: the standard ubuntu desktop edition versin 11.10 I mean22:28
ActionParsniplearningc: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements22:28
icerootlearningc: for ubuntu, something like 4GB but there are other versions like lubuntu which need less then 4gb, also you can use the minimal-iso and choose what you want to save space22:28
Germanaz0ActionParsnip: is not for games :S, this is for university programs22:28
genii-aroundlearningc: About 4-4.5Gb with standard desktop and apps, nothing extra22:28
atrunoi do not know about modern temperate technologies i do know that in your bios settings that if you set you fan speed control to disabled you will get full power throttle at all times for your cpu.  what you likely want to do is stress test your cpu and make sure it doesn't beep.  and do that bios tweak.22:28
Germanaz0that them gave me, and I have to run windows :s22:28
learningcI need to create a virtualbox disk ans I need to know the size22:28
TK5791almoxarife: I'm trying to sink but the browser is hanging again.22:29
ActionParsniplearningc: my lubuntu install is little over 4Gb22:29
icerootlearningc: my installation takes 2.8GB22:29
TK5791growing weary with it all22:29
ActionParsnipGermanaz0: should be ok22:29
learningcso, 5GB should be sufficient?22:29
icerootlearningc: of course22:29
learningcok thanks22:29
almoxarifeTK5791: browser or 'sync' hanging?22:29
TK5791sync22:29
Germanaz0but I do not want to run windows like a program in the virtualbox under ubuntu, I would like to boot windows, using grub22:29
TK5791both on Chromium and Chrome22:29
Germanaz0with a virtualbox22:29
ActionParsniplearningc: I'd go 6Gb to allow for updates22:30
learningcwill it be slow if the disk is almost full?22:30
Germanaz0using the iso inside the ubuntu partition :D22:30
TK5791had to force stop Chrome which crashed the browser22:30
icerootlearningc: not really22:30
dcom23Germanaz0, they gave you virtual box windows *.vdi this will only run with the virtual box inside the os with installed virtual box in it22:31
icerootlearningc: but remeber, you need 4GB for ubuntu and maybe 1GB for swat22:31
ActionParsniplearningc: no but it can cause you to not be able to login. I always gove 10Gb to / and use the rest for swap and /home22:31
icerootlearningc: also having more free space for updates and other stuff as ActionParsnip is a good idea22:31
almoxarifeTK5791: never had 'sync' hang, you are using 'chrome or chromium'?22:31
TK5791both22:31
TK5791would just like to use Chrome22:31
almoxarifeTK5791: both? why?22:32
TK5791I thought that Chrome was the problem.... but it appears more and more to be the OS22:32
n00berG00beranyone had issues needing libxul in 11.10?22:32
Germanaz0dcom23: yes but I would like to run windows with the  virtualbox, but booting with grub instead use ubuntu inside22:32
icerootis there a way to compile software for amd64 when the cpu does not support amd64?22:32

n00berG00bericeroot, good question.22:33
brontosaurusrexiceroot, isnt that compiler specific?22:33
almoxarifeTK5791: I use 11.10 and daily chromium, no issues22:33

TK5791almostroot: should I leave the save passwords in Chromium black as well as the passwords in google sync?23:05
Gentoo64stanza>23:05
Gentoo64?23:05
Gentoo64what do you mean23:05
TK5791blank23:05
ofShardThat's the name of the commands on upstart I guess.23:05
TK5791black=blank23:05
ofShardAccording to their manual.23:05
TK5791Chromium password saving feature, to save or not to save that is the question23:06
Gentoo64TK5791: thats personal preference23:06
almoxarifeTK5791: blank? no, you have to fill the sync window with your email and password, otherwise no worky23:06
FlexGuyanybody know channel for open-iscsi discussion ? nss23:06
Gentoo64almoxarife: you dont HAVE to use the sync23:06
ofShardOkay, I think my mongodb process is starting like it should.23:07
ofShardBut the upstart service isn't keeping track of it.23:07
Gentoo64i noticed chromium starting popping up the sync window on new installs though23:07
almoxarifeGentoo64: you don't, but that's what TK5791 has been trying to do, so I assume that is what he wants to do23:07
Gentoo64almoxarife: oh ok sorry23:07
TK5791almostroot: I know that, but the sync feature allows to you sync passwords... that box I should untick, however Chromium also gives you the option to auto save passwords... can I give the local browser permission or tick Never save passwords?23:07
almoxarifeTK5791: you want to sync 'all'23:08
Gentoo64TK5791: are you trying to completely not save/store anything?23:08
ofShardI included "expect fork" stanza, but it still seems to lose track of it.23:08
Gentoo64but use sync?23:08
TK5791sync all doesn't work according to all23:08
almoxarifeTK5791: sync all does not work?23:09
TK5791what I mean is password sync doesn't work according to several folks and a few forums... they suggest that you don't use that feature23:09
hydra_hi23:09
TK5791however will my problems persist if I give the local browser the option to auto save passwords?23:09
hydra_anyone having problems with virtualbox ?23:09
almoxarifeTK5791: please sync something, if anything syncs then the issue is resolved from my standpoint, feel free to only sync what you please23:10

Gentoo64hydra_: i think its #backtrack-linux23:11
TK5791almostroot: thank you23:11
almoxarifeTK5791: you problem with local passwords is something else, I don't use local, so someone that does can further assist you, I stopped using local passwords because of corrupted local folder, I save them in an extension, so all I do is sync and I have a working web browser on any machine anywhre on the planet23:12
Gentoo64hydra_: just out of interest, why do you want virtualbox, in backtrack? lol23:12
